The Ikorodu destitute centre in Owutu Lagos State is a residential facility set up by the Lagos State Government to house the homeless and people with mental instability. Weekly, the government officials drive around the state and take these people off the streets and bring them to the centre where they are either identified and released to their relatives or kept there indefinitely. Currently, there are 1,782 individuals residing in this centre comprising of women, children and men. The government provides them with shelter, meals and healthcare but this is grossly inadequate hence our support to the home.The Obijackson Foundation embarks on weekly soup kitchen support to all the residents of the centre during which we dish out cooked meals and interact with the residents. We also provide infant formula for the little ones, donate diesel for powering their generating set to enable them pump water and provide drug supplies to their clinic. Once in a while, we also donate clothing and sanitary items to all the residents of this home.
It is important one volunteers for this event as you get to embark on one of the purest forms of charity an individual can provide to his fellow man. These people not only need material support but also alot of emotional support and interaction with you can help provide this and give them hope for the future.
